Pleasant Thoughts - Andrew Schneider
Lyrics by:Andrew Schneider
Composed by:Andrew Schneider
Produced by:Andrew Schneider
I had found a place in hell for
The souls who lived to dwell
Running polls across the coals
Their fault or mine
I desperately searched for
A sign of some petty flaw
So I could blame you for the
Pain and pass it off as your design
And though I know you're so sweet
I can't accept you were right
Because I've lost so much sleep
Wondering if you've known sleepless nights
Now I've tried to learn from our mistakes
But I can't visit the past
Without a chain pulling taut
When people become links to break
It's just torture but a pleasant thought
I'm not proud that bitterness
Can catch me by surprise
We set out with the same ambition and fear
But you never realized the
Sting of a consoling lie
Though cooed to salve and
Soothe drips poison in the ear
And though I know you're so sweet
I can't accept you were right
Because I've lost so much sleep
Wondering if you've known sleepless nights
But the ones who hurt us don't obsess
Just as we don't obsess
Over those we left distraught
So let's just get on with our lives
It's just torture but a pleasant thought
And though I know you're so sweet
I can't accept you were right
Because I've lost so much sleep
Wondering if you've known sleepless nights
We give forgiveness a trial
But something so juvenile
It screams for freedom to brood
And feed on distorted truth
